LEADERSHIP GROUNDED IN DELIVERY

Strategic clarity backed by real-world execution.

For more than 20 years, I have worked at the intersection of cybersecurity, business continuity, disaster recovery, operational resilience, IT governance, and enterprise program leadership.

Across public-sector, financial-services, retail, and technology environments, I've helped organizations manage cyber risk, strengthen critical operations, prepare for disruption, and build practical recovery capabilities.

As a cybersecurity executive, resilience leader, consultant, and U.S. Navy veteran, I bring both perspectives to the table: the strategy required in the executive room and the execution required when the plan has to work.
